Content Creation and Marketing are still the best approach to building an online empire, big or small. I am constantly asked why I create some kind of content everyday. Here is my answer:

Why I (And My Most Successful Students) Create Content Everyday

In a minute I’m going to reveal one of my biggest secrets about the connection between content creation and product creation. But first I want to tell you about the 5 things you must have to be successful online. There are 5 things you need to be massively successful online in any niche. These five pillars of success are:

Content Creation

Online Visibility

Traffic Generation

List Building

Product Creation

The cool thing about creating some kind of content each day is that it takes care of the first of the five, and sets you up to easily accomplish the next four pillars of online success.

I guess you could call content creation a magic button because it makes Online Visibility, Traffic Generation, List Building and Product Creation so much easier.

Let’s Take a Closer Look

Online Visibility – You don’t have to be found all over the Internet, and you can’t afford to either. The good news is you just need to be found all over your niche. When you create and market your content you will be found all over your niche. This leads to you being the go-to expert in your niche, the one people think of first.

Traffic Generation - When you market pieces of your content online and include a link back to one of your web properties, you are driving highly qualified traffic. It’s relatively easy to get in front of where the traffic is going and then redirect it exactly where you want it to go this way.

List Building - When you include a call to action at the end of your content, your list will grow. And grow with people that have spent enough time checking out your content to want more from you. This eliminates the tire kickers and brings you highly qualified prospects.

Product Creation - In my model when you are creating your content you are also creating your information products. This is one of the secrets to how I and my students can be such prolific creators of products and resources.

Bonus Tip – When you create content everyday you will watch your confidence soar. And to get you started, I have 2 of my most powerful Content Creation Templates with your name on them waiting for you over at http://JeffHerring.com/2contentcreationtemplates

Content Creation sets the stage very well for you to create your information products. This is great news because creating info products is one of the many things online that have been made to look much too hard. While it does take work, it’s just not all that hard when you know what you are doing.

3 Quick Tips

Tip #1 – Give Up the Belief That You Are Not “One of Those People” - Here’s what I mean – I hear it everyday from my students and members when we work on their product creation: “But I’m not one of those gurus!”

What I think they are trying to say is that they do not believe they can crank out info products like the “gurus.”

My answer is always: “That’s great! So let’s just create info products like a person trying to help other people and make a difference.”

You have information inside of you that you can turn into information products. Period.

Tip #2 – You Have Both the Right and the Obligation to Get Your Info Products Out There – Yes, really! Consider this: If you have a message inside of you that can help other people, that can improve someone’s life, whether that’s a better relationship, more money, taking a few strokes off your golf game or catching more fish, not only to do have a right to get it out there, you have an obligation to get it out there. It’s part of why you are on the planet.

And I’ll take this a step further still. Not only do you have a right and an obligation to get your message out there, you have a right and an obligation to profit from it. You are a role model and a leader for those who want to learn from you, and it’s your responsibility to do well. Would you take financial advice from someone who drove up in a broken down old pinto?

Tip #3 – Take One Piece of Content and Expand On It – Let’s say you have written a 7 tips article. Good start. Now take each tip and expand it into an article. Now you have 7 more articles for a total of eight articles. Bundle these together, with the first 7 tips article as the introduction, and each additional article about each tip as one of seven chapters.

And now you have a 7 chapter mini-guide or a 7 chapter ebook.

Bonus Tip – So to be able to create lots of info products from your content you’ve got to be able to create lots content. And the easiest way to create lots of content is with templates!

Content Creation and article marketing are still the best ways to get free qualified traffic and turn it into profits.

But Jeff, what about this Google Panda update and the notion that article marketing is dead?

Says who!?!

Not any of my students who consistently create content, turn it into profits, and see their businesses improve in any economy. Nor those like me who do it everyday and reap the benefits.

Content marketing is alive, well, and well…thriving!

So let’s take a closer look at two particular kinds of content that will help you pull in more traffic and profits.

Creative Content – The worst thing you could possibly do is create content that is the same old same old stuff that everybody does and everybody has seen.

For example, in the weight loss niche, writing about eating better and exercising more is certainly not going to be a news flash, right? ZZZ…

But what about taking a unique mindset slant on getting rid of weight that is not needed? That’s getting creative.

Now, I can hear some of you out their whining a bit, saying that you are not creative. Well let me ask you something: Do you ever worry? Of course you do, we all do. When you worry you are being very creative, you are just using it the wrong way.

Why not use your creativity well and create some unique content?

No one else has your life experiences and unique perspective on the world. Use your creativity when creating your content.

Current Content - There’s a lot going on in the world. Everyday. So why not find events that can be tied to your niche in some way and create your content?

The key words from current events will also help you get traffic.

Plus you look timely and up to date. Imagine if Jay Leno or David Letterman came on and started telling jokes about things that had happened months ago.

But that is not what they do. They play off of current events and extract the humor from them.

In the same way you can play off of current event and extracts learning points for your niche.

For example, someone whose niche is speaker training could and should be having a field day with any political debate, discussing the communication skills, (or lack thereof) of leading candidates. The next step is to make suggestions about what to do instead.

Bottom Line?- Get started creating your current content and your creative content right away!

And do you want to know the best way to create lots of content? Use templates!
